Column contents (REPORT command)

The following options can be used to specify the contents of the report column for each variable:

(VALUE). Display the values of the variable. This is the default.

(LABEL). Display value labels. If value labels are not defined, values are displayed.

(DUMMY). Display blank spaces. DUMMY defines a report column for a variable that does not exist in the active dataset. Dummy variables are used to control spacing or to reserve space for statistics computed for other variables. Do not name an existing variable as a dummy variable.

• VALUE and LABEL have no effect unless LIST has been specified on the FORMAT subcommand.
• When AUTOMATIC is in effect, value labels or string values are centered in the column based on the length of the longest string or label; numeric values are centered based on the width of the widest value or summary format. When MANUAL is in effect, value labels or string values are left-justified in the column and numeric values are right-justified. (See the OFFSET keyword.)
